Figure 2. Phylogenetic analysis of all available full-length Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) small (A) and medium (B) segments from GenBank. Orange shading indicates sequence from 16-year-old girl in 2022; blue shading indicates past sequences from Uganda; gray shading indicates non-Uganda sequences. Major clades are labeled according to Balinandi et al. (6). Nodes with bootstrap support >70% are labeled in red. GenBank accession numbers are OL690430–1.
